Remove imessage from sold iphone

I know this has been asked like a thousand times...
I have changed from android to iphone then back to android.
iphone users who contacts me for the first time while I am using Android now will send imessage instead of normal sms.
as I don't have access to the sold iphone 4 I have to try to seek help from here.
I've tried the ultimate one-off solution which is to chance my appleID's password, but it still doesn't help.
strangely existing iphone users in my contact book , back to the first android period can send me sms without problem.
so really just some phone users new to my number will send imessage.
you can tell from my ID I am really ******. anyway I can find help from apple directly??

Have her erase the phone by going to Settings>General>Reset and tapping Erase All Content and Settings.  She will need the password for your iCloud ID in order to do this.  Or, you can do erase it remotely using Find My iPhone on icloud.com.  This will remove your account and allow her to set up the phone as a new iPhone.

  • Why can't I remove iMessage from iCloud backups?

    Why can't I remove iMessage from iCloud backups?
    I've noticed that my iCloud backups are constantly hitting their 5GB max, even after clearing out camera rolls, etc.
    After some testing, I've found that iMessages are also backed up.   For someone like me, I'm constantly sending pictures / videos to friends and family, having a little guy under a year old (but that's not important).
    In any case, it seems you can set iCloud backup for just about every app EXCEPT iMessages.   The only way I've found to solve this is to constantly delete message threads from my iPhone, so that they aren't taking up iCloud space.   But this honestly is a bit of a pain (okay, only a little bit)...  why can't I keep my messages around for as long as I want, without backing them up? 

    Make sure you have their icloud email they use for imessage in their contact information before sending them an imessage.

    You can't. Default Apple Apps cannot be removed. If you sign out of your Apple Id in Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Apple ID then the iPad will have no knowledge of your Phone number.

    How do I remove pictures from my iPhone that can't be deleted?

    What pics?
    This is very vague.
    If you mean pics that you synced to your iphone form your computer, then delete them the same way. Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want to be on your iphone, sync.

    Hi asims01,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below may be able to answer your questions about how to delete songs from your iPhone:
    Deleting songs downloaded to your device
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap More > Songs at the bottom.
    Scroll or search for the song you would like to delete from your device.
    Swipe right to left on the song, and then tap Delete.
    Note: You must be in Artists, Songs, or Albums view to delete songs from your device. Deleting from a playlist won't remove a song from your iOS device.
    Also, this information can be found on page 64 of the iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Remove a song from iPhone. Tap Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.
    If you have iOS 7, this will delete the song from local storage, but the song will still appear with a cloud symbol in the Music app, as you've noticed. To hide the iTunes in the Cloud purchases, navigate to Settings > iTunes & App Store, and disable "Show All: Music”
    There may be a few orphaned songs on your iPhone that were partially downloaded or corrupted in some way. If that is the case, you can erase all of the music from your phone.  Follow the instructions below and select the Music app under Usage:
    iPhone, iPad, and iPod: Understanding capacity

    I hope this information helps ....

  • I am trying to read my iMessages from my iPhone 4S on my iPad 2, but the messages do not show up on my iPad 2. I made sure that the receiving email address is the same on both devices and both are signed into my single Apple account.

    I am trying to read my iMessages from my iPhone 4S on my iPad 2, but the messages do not show up on my iPad 2. I made sure that the receiving email address is the same on both devices and both are signed into my single Apple account.

    Is it possible that the person who sent the message to your phone sent it to your phone # instead?  Try sending a message to your phone via the email address and see if it shows up on the iPad.

  • How can I remove songs from my iphone but they still stay in my library

    I have set up my music to sync only checked items, however, all the songs are still on my iphone.  I only want certain songs on my phone, but it still shows several songs that I have not checked off.  How do I remove songs from my iphone but they still will stay in my library. 

    What you need to do is go to music, and slide your finger to the right on the song you want to remove from your device. The song will still show in the music app but will have a cloud with an arrow beside it and you would have to re-download the song to your device to be able to listen to it. And also, this will only take the song off your device and it won't be removed from your library on iTunes. I hope this helps!

  • How can I remove music from my iPhone that's not on a playlist, or checked off in the Sync window in any of the possible categories (Playlist, genre, artist, etc)? HELP! It's taking up SO much space on my phone

    If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up. 
    You should have a look in:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/Extensions
    You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple. 

  • How do I add and remove mp3s from my iPhone?

    I've forgotten again how to add and remove mp3s from my iPhone.  Can someone please remind me?  I am an iTunes subscriber using a PC running Windows 7 and iTunes 11.1.

    Where are all these places, and how do I do it, step-by-step?  I really have zero understanding at all.  I know how to drag-and-drop mp3s onto my Sandisk mp3 player.  It's basically one-step.  I can't figure out how this is done in iTunes for an iPhone.
    Make sure you have iTunes 11.1.1 installed on your computer.
    Plug your iPhone into your computer.
    Open iTunes. Create a new Playlist and name it whatever you want. I use iPhone Sync.
    Go to your Music Library, click and drag the music you want into your new Playlist.
    Click on your iPhone along the top right. Click on Music and select Sync Music and choose just the new Playlist.
    Click on the Sync button on the bottom right of the iTunes screen.

    I have a jailbroked iphone,and it seems that it has some viruses how can I remove them from my iphone?

    You have viruses because you jailbroke your phone, and now you're probably spreading them to other phones. Nice.
    Jailbroken phones are generally bricked for good. Throw it away, it's junk.

    How can I remove apps from my iPhone 5 home page?

    Tap and hold an app until they all start to wiggle, then tap the black "x" on the apps you want to delete from your phone, or drag them to the edge of the screen if you want to move them to another screen rather than deleting them.  Finish by tapping the home button.

    Hello miamat2017
    You should see an option to skip that step and then sign out of it when looking in Settings. Check out the article below for more information.
